PENSACOLA, Fla. – University of West Florida Athletics has entered into a new three-year partnership with FanWord, one of the leading AI technology and storytelling companies in college sports. Through this collaboration, the Argonauts will implement FanWord Assist, an AI-powered content creation platform designed to modernize and expand storytelling across all athletic programs.
FanWord Assist streamlines the production of game recaps, feature stories, and player bios, giving athletic communications teams the ability to produce more content with greater speed and consistency. The platform enables schools to highlight the experiences of their student-athletes and programs while saving valuable time and resources.
"In my early conversations with FanWord I could see how much their platform had to offer our team here at UWF," said Ted Johnson, Assistant AD for Communications. "With the responsibilities of athletic communications constantly evolving, FanWord Assist provides us a consistent and time-efficient way to produce stories, recaps and other content which in turn allows our team to better promote our programs. We are looking forward to this partnership."
West Florida becomes the newest member of a rapidly growing cohort of more than 185 athletic organizations across all levels partnering with FanWord. Other colleges include fellow Gulf South members West Alabama and Mississippi College, plus in-state Division I schools like Florida Gulf Coast, USF, and Stetson.
"West Florida's position as a contender in Division II athletics and its commitment to building champions for life make this a special partnership," said Chris Aumueller, CEO of FanWord. "With FanWord Assist, we're excited to help the Argos expand their storytelling reach and provide their teams with a stronger platform to inspire recruits, alumni, and the community."
FanWord Assist allows departments to create more stories, faster, across more platforms through AI-powered efficiency with customizable human oversight. With full editorial control, while drastically reducing turnaround time and content bottlenecks, UWF will further enhance their ability to deliver impactful stories that highlight every win in Argonauts Athletics.
